Contrast and imaging agents in interventional X-ray market plays an important role in improving the health-related issues in the healthcare sector. Contrast material, which is also known as contrast agents or contrast media, are used to improve image quality produced by X-rays, computed tomography (CT) and other imaging techniques. By using contrast materials radiologists can distinguish normal from abnormal conditions within the body.

Contrast agents or media doesn’t permanently discolour internal organs. Prior to the imaging exam, when the contrast agent is introduced in the body, these contrast materials forms some shape in the body which helps to appear different than that if no contrast agent is administered. Contrast agents or media help physicians diagnose medical conditions by improving the vision. The material is absorbed by the body or eliminated through urine or bowel movements. There are various ways to use contrast material such as swallowed (taken by mouth or orally), injected into a blood vessel (vein or artery; also called given intravenously or intra-arterially) and administered by enema (given rectally).

Different types of contrast materials are available including Iodine-based and barium-sulphate compounds used majorly in X ray and CT, Gadolinium which is used in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and many others.
